Where have You Gone from Redwall?

Introduction
We've had a lot of pages dealing in art, writing, and other fantastic Redwall-related projects, but here I thought I'd do something a bit differently. Instead of focusing purely on what you've done in relation to the series, I'd like to ask "where has the series taken you in general?" What about the books inspired you to come up with something new or encouraged you to get into a subject you enjoy? If you feel like sharing just post below in the entries section.

P.S. Feel free to re-edit your own posts whenever you want.

Neildown Redwall itself was the real beginning for me both in literature and in artwork; beforehand I did like to draw and I did read an occasional book if I happened to come across one, but in both areas I was extremely lax until a friend convinced me to read Lord Brocktree. Though I spent several years unhealthily obsessing over it, in the end it was the largest contributor to my sense of imagination. From there I gained an even greater liking of medieval-centered literature than I had before and consequently it became the source of many ideas and projects I've completed to this day - some of which can be viewed here -->. Most of my work, whilst not really "Redwall" anymore, has a great amount of it still hybridized in the mix, and that's kind of what I wanted to focus on in this page. Looking back at the influence the series had on me, there is very little in my creative work that could not be attributed to it in some manner.
